Overview
BOT user is often required to access different physical and network shared file paths for various file I/O operations, especially when working with MS Excel, CSV or PDF files. All such shared directories and sub-directories have access permissions defined through some Group Policy by the IT administrators. In lots of business requirements, the BOT process during its execution is required to access the file paths to read or write files from/to the source/destination address respectively. But in practice, it is mostly seen during BOT development or migration to Test/Production servers, the BOT processing fails when the file paths access permissions are not as expected.
The FilePathAccessValidator workflow is developed using a Windows PowerShell script. The inbuilt Invoke PowerShell activity of UiPath executes the PowerShell script to query Windows Folder objects to list user permission details.
It expects two file paths as inputs:
- one to read access permission details
- other to write output summary in a CSV file.
Further, a username is provided as input to query in the CSV result set. Later, developers can read the permission details from the CSV file to tailor their needs to proceed further in the workflow. In the attached workflow, its usage is also illustrated with a hypothetical use case to query and print the user’s permission details in logs.
